very important info
when one gets arrested for anything. they take everything from you. yes this means your cell phone
with all your numbers in it.

so before you go out write the # of a local bail bonds men AKA someone that can get you out fast on your hand you dont want to spend 4 days in the tombs

i mean lets say someone goes in on the jump the cops are not just going to give u a slap on the wrist and let u go your going to be in deep shit

Re: [1072] very important info
On that note... you wouldn't want to have all your base buddies numbers programmed into your phone either... memorize or write them down...

Re: [leroydb] very important info

Re: [blitzkrieg] very important info
 
Haha. You should see your name in my phone.

Re: [leroydb] very important info
Typically, I leave the cell phone in
the vehicle and use 2-way radios for
communication.

But, wouldn't the cops be doing an illegal
search by looking through your telephone?

Re: [1072] very important info
Cops are 'generally' scumbags Wink

and as the other guys have said....just because they are not meant to do it...doesnt mean they WONT do it.

From my experience of being arrested (I was innocent of course Laugh) the cops are basically autonomous and will do exactly what they want.

you are THEIR bitch when you get arrested.

Which really sucks...so I try not to get arrested.
Whenever possible.

But if you do take a mobile...Im not sure if you guys in the US have the same as us UKers, but I roll with a pay as you go phone which has no useful numbers in and if it gets confiscated or searched it is of no use to anyone.

Because 911 is hard to dial?

Re: [1072] very important info
Also remember that usually in a jail cell the phone calls you make have to be collect calls and in my experience you can't make collect calls to cell phones.

When I go on a jump that has more than a slim possiblity of landing me in the clink, I've got bail money on me (you can't bail yourself out with debit or credit) and/or a land line telephone number written on my arm (don't want hand sweat smearing the numbers nor do I want ink on my PC) of someone that can lend me assistance on the outside. These facts might be different in other cities/counties/states.

Don't ask me how I've learned this stuff.

Re: [hookitt] very important info
Yeah, 911 on speed dial was a joke.

My wife has agreed to bail me out
should that ever be necessary and
I have her numbers memorized.

If that is true I'm fucked. I know no one that I regularly talk with that has a land line. I guess I will just have to not get caught. Wink

Re: [1072] very important info
Two comments...

1) Most if not all cell phones have a "lock" function where you need a PIN to unlock. If you are worried about the cops reading your phone list, perhaps use that, but keep the phone. I think the ROI of having a phone on site is very important.

2) I have an employee who has, well, had problems with his bitch of a girlfriend who gets him arrested on odd days for "abuse" and screws him (in bed) on even days.

For the record - he is cut off from "TDog bailing him out.... Again." However I have statistical proof to show that, when requested, the police will call your employer to relay a message such as why he won't be at work, and what jail he is in.

He uses the, "I owe it to my boss to let him know why I won't be at work so I can keep my job. Can you PLEASE help me by leaving him a voicemail message. If I don't get him a message, I will lose my job and be unable to pay the fines and penalties."

So.... Negotiate with a friend that they will be your "employer". If this "employer" gets a message from the cops they will get all the info they need to help you.

Also, in small towns he was able to call my cell phone direct without the collect call saga.

Dude... Tell me what you really think..
For the record, my post about small town cops letting my employee use his phone was a real world thing, and lots of objects are in that real world (small town hickville America).

When I jump in NYC - I will keep my cell phone in my pocket so the cops don't shoot me 37 times. Of course how the cops treat you is directly related to geographic location.

BTW. Your tuna fish might have more brains than me... However, in your signature line, it is "hammer" unless you are referring to a chicago electric guitar manufacture...

P.S. Just fuckn with ya... But I stand by my point, even if you think I am not worthy of canned fish. Oh... If you were just replying and not replying to me, then anyone up for a tuna sandwich, because I am hungry????

No the point is to run faster or fly farther and not get caught.

Especially you...if anyone is going to get gaped in the county jail it's your 12 year old looking ass.

Re: [1072] very important info
My experience: If you think there is even a slight chance you might be going to the "pokey", wear something warm, with no t-shirt underneath. For some reason they like to strip you down to only one layer before they put you in the tank. If you are wearing a t-shirt underneath, that's what you are going in with. Holding tanks are freezing cold!
Don't drink the Cool-Aid! It may be an urban myth, but the regulars from my last visit said it contains saltpeter. The stuff that makes your johnson soft. Whatever cash you had on you, will be given back to you in the form of a check, which makes it difficult if you are released after hours and need cash for a cab or to get your vehicle out of the city impound.
If you feel the urge to take a swing at one of the guards, you will find yourself on your back being beat up by every guard in the building. I saw this happen, and it ain't funny. You will spend the remainder of your stay sitting in one of those chairs they transported Hannibal Lector in.
Oh yea, crack heads seem to have an uncontrollable itch in their neck and face area. Stay away from them. They usually won't bother you until chow time. Then they will wart the hell out of you for your food.
Remember, or as someone else said, write phone numbers on your arm. However, the last time I was in, they had numbers to many bail bondsmen on the wall next to the phone, but that may not be the case in your county.
lastly, a night in the pokey can be fun and creative. We played soccer with a roll of toilet paper!!

Have fun!!

To get an operator from a phone in the tank, call a disconnected number. An operator can be infinitely helpful in getting you through to someone.

Re: [] very important info
Don't have my friend's numbers in my cell phone? Yeah right.
All my experiences in the clink I've been able to make multiple phone calls and use a phone book to locate a bailbondsman. If you're a dick to the cops once you get caught don't expect to be treated "well" in holding. Granted, my experiences in this area were in county, and not in NYC, and none were BASE related.

My solution to this "very important info:" Don't get caught whenever possible. Travis' suggestion about locking your phone sounds super reasonable to me.
